Later, TNEB condemned Prasanna’s statement and clarified that the actor hasn’t paid the March month bill, and hence, it was carried forward in May month’s bill. Now, Prasanna has also issued a statement saying that his intention was not to degrade or portray TNEB in bad light. He said that all he wanted is that by grabbing the attention, there is a chance for the Government to announce a few days relaxation to pay the bill. The actor also regretted if his tweet hurt the employees and the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board. The actor also said that he has now paid the bill.
